A new week is starting, the end of a month and the beginning of a new one! New projects, new adventures, new things, new details, new inspirations, new motivations, new pearls!

This week I'm starting my days-off from work, VACATIONS, and all I can say is that I'm truly happy!! I was expecting for this time for so long and it finally arrived to complete my days and to recharge my batteries after a year full of activities, projects, challenges and everything else that really happened in my life this whole year!

Recently, Dior shared some pictures from their campaign where the actress Mila Kunis will be the star for Miss Dior handbag. As stated by the Dior house, Mila is "an icon of modernity" and embodies their elegance.Following their routes, most of the campaign is black and white which makes not only the campaign but also the emblematic piece more nostalgic remembering the 50's. In all the campaign, we can see that Mila Kunis does some very simples outfit to highlight the real star on the campaign, the Miss Dior handbag.Both in the film and the pictures Mila is stalked by paparazzi surrounding her to various locations in LA where she gently demonstrates smiles and sighs while all those moments are caught in a old Hollywood glamour 50's style.Photographed by Mario Sorrenti in LA and styled by Carine Roitfeld.

Ok, I know what you might be thinking, that all my posts are with blue... but I just figured with these pictures lately I have a lot of blue... So well, my wardrobe contains black, white and blue in major but also some diferent bright colors but more for vacations... ahah!

Today I choose for the outfit a t-shirt I didn't wear in a while and it's one that I really like the color, it's mint - one of the 2012 summer trends. This is a huge t-shirt almost dress, but I worked it in a point to wear it with some jeans or skirts. To accessorize this look I put on my high sandals and to contrast with the mint tee I choose my neon bracelets, yellow and pink, one of my favorites for this summer! Aren't they amazing? Very bright!

What do you think of the look? Let me know!

Hope you like the pictures and have a pearly day!! It's Friday!!! And I'm in just a few hours of my vacations!! Yeah!

Remember to leave you some pictures from Tommy Hilfiger fashionshow in New York back in February (here)??

So, now here it is the campaign with all members of Tommy's family. The Hilfigers are back!! Always with an amazing style, classic and very fashionable for this fall his inspiration were Town and Country as we can see very clearly in all the pics where they are featuring hunters. One of my favorite elements on the collection was the use of the upper-class equestrienne's world. Always loved these patterns and colors for fall!!

And this family... let's be honest, is the most fashionable family ever, right? I will always love this brand, me and the whole family at home!

Yesterday in the middle of the afternoon I had an amazing new by being nominated for Blogger of the Week by Portuguese Fashion Bloggers!! I got really thrilled and amazed and happy for such an honor! It was definitely one of the best days of my life lately! The blog had an amazing increase of views and it's really good to see your work being recognized and praised for this community!

Thank you so much to all those who have been supporting me and of course to you that are reading and following me everyday in every post making me even more inspired, motivated and able to follow and continue my dreams, what I love the most and what I do believe being just who I am!

But in this story I have to tell you a little secret... When I suddendly saw a huge increase on my views in just a minute I thought I had some virus on my computer or maybe on the blog! I don't know! I kinda freaked out and got a little scared by not knowing what was that! Crazy! I know! =)

So, for today's outfit I have to show you a very confortable look for work but also formal and elegant which I like to wear very often by wearing a stripe t-shirt very light, some dark skinny jeans and to accessorize it I choose my nude flats and my favorite light blue handbag to contrast the whole outfit!Hope you like the pictures and wish you an amazing day!!

This week Urban Outfiters introduced their very first Home Catalog online featuring four real-life apartments photographed by The Selby & Alex Da Corte.

With all these amazing pictures that made me like UO even more that I already like, also made me want to buy some of the pieces from this catalog. This is very american home decor style and also remind me from their stores which are some kind of this style too.

The decor is very funny, relaxed, simple but at the same time very tidy and classic. So 60's!

I have some favorite pieces in this catalog, which one are yours? I loved the tribal patterns pieces!

For today's look I have to show you a very confortable weekend look I wore in a morning walk to Sintra! The weather was amazing, the village full of tourists and all of those pretty small streets reminded me some places in Algarve, at least Lagos. And a visit to Sintra can't be a visit without going to Piriquita to eat their amazing cakes... yummii! I love to go there and this is always a stopover.

Today I'm leaving you some pictures from the day spent in Sintra with all those amazing views and details. For the look I wore some skinny jeans and a dark t-shirt and my beloved handbag I got in NY. Hope you like the pictures! And don't forget to follow the blog on Facebook and Twitter!

The 2012 Teen Choice Awards were this Sunday in Universal city, California and the pink carpet couldn't be more pretty and glamourous. A lot of color filled the ceremony and Demi Lovato and Kevin McHale were the hosts. The show also included the performance of Justin Bieber and the summer sensation Carly Rae Japsen with her greatest hit "Call me maybe" to close out the show with a b-day message to Selena Gomez for her 20th anniversary! I love this song!! I just can't stop singing it since March, can you believe it?? It's on my playlist everywhere! =)

The big winners of the night were "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1", "The Hunger Games", Justin Bieber with 4 awards and Taylor Swift who won everything what she was nominated!!

But now... Let's talk about the dresses, right?? OMG! Most of them were stunning! I love them all, the colors, the textures, the designs, the hair, the shoes, everything! I'm showing you just a few but these are some of my favorites! But for you I'm selecting my top 5 list:

1. Lucy Hale (orange dress)Wes Gordon dress, Brian Atwood - she looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! The cut from the dress, the braid and those shoes are the perfect combination for a summer party! Want every single piece!

2. Selena Gomez with her pink Dsquared2 dress and heels by Herve Leger. I just love this pink!! And her, she's too cute and seems sweet! There's something on her I like! Ordering that dress!!
3. Lea Michelle in Versace dress and shoes. This girl is turning into a fashion diva in cerimonies! Seriously! She always looks great and this perfect shinny dress looks great on her tan. Love the cut and also reminds me my LWD I showed the other day for its flower details printed in the dress. Take a look! Ms. Donatella Versace, pleaseeee could you send me this dress??
4. Taylor Swift with Maria Lucia Hohan dress and Prada shoes in a greek inspiration look that I really love made her one of my favorite looks! Her always simple style, hair and earings are perfect! Very country, don't you think?
5. The last favorite one was very hard to choose cause I probably don't really love the dress but I like the way it look on her: Holland Roden with Alice + Olivia dress and Christian Louboutin heels. I think she looks really cute! Probably her hair color with the print of the dress, right?

For the ones who already follow me on facebook and twitter know that one of these days mum brought home some petite desserts for the family which make us like fools with it! These wonderful things were Macaroons! Very well-known by everyone I don't really need to say anything else to present them and so I'm leaving you some pictures of what we had the opportunity to make our meal completed. These one were bought in Chiado - Lisbon in a very cute store named J'Adore Macoroons! They have several sizes of this joy and also a lot of flavours in tons of colors.

In that beautiful box we had caramel, cherry, panacotta and sweet-eggs ended up with a big green bow with the logo. So cute! I love these small details!

Hint: They're great for dinner party gifts! Choose a few, put them in a pretty tied up with ribbon and it's gonna be a dazzling gift! Trust me!

In today's outfit post I'm about to show you one of my favorite necklaces that I've got last summer and one that I love to put on in so many summer outfits. This beauty mixes the ocean blue and golden in a very pretty design where I can display in a very sophisticated way. You can also wear it with a simple dress (short or long) for a more formal party. (If you want in some other post I can show you how I usually wear this necklace in different outfits. Just let me know by leaving a comment below.)

This day I woke up in a blue mood and so I paired a blue v-neck t-shirt with my dark blue high waisted pants I showed you here accessorizing it with a brown belt, gladiator sandals and of course my statement necklace to make the difference in my outfit and making me feel even prettier!

Once more we can confirm that the accessories can make the difference!! Keep it simple in everything else and you're ready to go and shine like a pearl!

What do you think about this outfit?? Hope you like the pictures!

You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter, so let's do some likes and tweets and don't forget to share with your friends!! Let's raise together!!

And Friday is here and I can't wait to leave the office! Once yesterday I didn't post anything due to some personal problems today I have to show you a trend that I've been adopting lately when I wear jeans for more silly days - we can say that I'm mixing the boyfriend jeans and the low-slung skinnies.

I actually think that you can make a very minimalistic look with this trend looking simple but also very fashionable. To join the jeans trend I wore a simple t-shirt with one of my favorite summer colors - coral. This day I decided to combine with some golden details with my chain necklace and watch also because my flats has a golden detail.

The set for these pictures was Cascais, one of my favorite places to chill and also have fun, after a quick "bussiness visit".

Today I'm starting a new item here about one of my "pearls", Food&Kitchen. And let's say that when I mention Food&Kitchen it means everything, from recipes to kitchen decor. Some notes, most recipes I will present were already tasted and approved by myself!!

So, this recipe is a really easy one and very delicious and although I used a cooking machine named Bimby that we have in Portugal (I don't know where it also exists) we can do it without. It's really easy to do and very good for every season in the year because if you arrive home and you want to eat something fast, this is perfect! For summer it's just a soft meal that you can eat hot or cold.

When I was young I had a passion for all these pleated skirts cause I could dance and dance and I had that feeling that I would fly and shine everywhere with my skirt or dress twirling . Something that I always think when I wear these kind of skirts and reminds me my childhood and how happy I was just dancing with my skirts.

Today I have to you a black and white look with a simple shirt and a pleated skirt I bought late last year. This pleated black skirt is half sheer and that was what I loved about it for being very soft and weightless. It also reminds me "gone with the wind" for it texture. To accessorize it I choose some gold color to break the B&W and to keep it more formal for work with a chain necklace.

The hot weather is back in strenght, going to the beach or pool is all I can think... Oh wait, I just remember I still can't cause I have to work! How can we be at the office with 40ºC outside, it's too much!! But I'm already counting for it! 2 weeks and I'm on vacations!! Yey!!

For today's outfit I choose my LWD I got in New York. I love this dress, it's very detailed and also very fresh for these hot days. I fall in love with this dress at the dressroom once I was trying it. It was kinda feeling of my weeding dress. I know it sounds crazy and impossible once I never got married but it was amazing! I love this feeling when you're trying something and that fits really well on you. Don't you feel the same?

To accessorize the dress I put on a brown belt to not look like a bride and my nude flats for a more summer look!

In a month where cinema was outstanding by the return of Spider-Man, Emma Stone is Mary Jane and is back to the big screen on her best and with days that her career will never forget. I think she really has the opportunity for becoming a big promise actress.These editorial I show you are pretty good and altough I have few favorite pictures in each one, the Vogue UK editorial is so far my favorite and the one that I actually recognize myself. It's so me!! With all that 60's style - yes, I think I have lived in that time, I just love those years! It can only be! =)
